night.

The gates to the Torrent City Alchemy Workshop slowly closed.

Levi put away the Tyrant II and flew home.

He flew very fast and very cautiously.

Because within the Torrent City, Levi dared not use his Synesthesia perception extensively, fearing that he might be detected by those powerful wizards.

Therefore, he couldn't control the overall situation, which made Levi feel very insecure.

Especially in the Upper City District, there's a guy Rex who's always thinking about how to mess with himself.

However, thanks to this year's Commander-in-Chief election, order in all aspects has been strictly enforced.

Therefore, Levi could sense that Rex had slowed down his targeting of him recently.

According to Ha Fuman, Spear of Thunder is one of the two candidates in this election, the other being "Blue Dragon Lady," another Commander-in-Chief of Torrent City.

Her real Mrs. Ace.

Blue Dragon Lady is a Fifth Ring wizard of the Frost School, and also a true... Dragonborn.

Dragonkind are a very mysterious species. They seem to have no reproductive barriers and can always leave Dragonkind bloodline in various planes.

Extraordinary beings are one type; another is the dragonborn.

Dragonborn are essentially no different from hybrid Dragonkind, except that hybrid Dragonkind are extraordinary beings, while dragonborn are human.

The origins of the Dragonborn are said to date back to ancient times, when the Wizard Civilization was just born, struggling to emerge amidst the power of theocracy and other powerful Plane Dominator.

Some dragons with strange sexual fetishes abduct young and beautiful witches to their lair.

The witch was forced to have relations with them; heaven knows how those dragons, comparable to mountains, were connected to her.

In short, these witches became pregnant, thus giving birth to the earliest dragonborn.

Initially, "Dragonborn" was a derogatory term, and people would call a Dragonborn a "Fire Lizard bastard."

However, the true power of the Dragonborn was gradually revealed later on.

The wizards immediately changed their minds.

Most Dragonkind are natural elemental adepts.

This means that every dragonborn possesses a talent for wizardry that far surpasses that of ordinary people.

Among the offspring of some Pure-blooded Dragon, there is even a small chance of producing descendants comparable to the Child of Element.

Later in the Wizard World, a noble and powerful, but rare, group emerged.

"Dragonkin Wizard"

Dragonkin Wizard natural spellcasters, and some of them, especially those of noble blood, have even mastered dragon magic.

Most importantly, they are natural-born Body Refinement Wizard, possessing the powerful physical talents of the Dragonkind from birth.

Nowadays, Dragonkin Wizard have even formed their own school, known as the "Dragon School".

They banded together for mutual support, and were mostly members of the "Dragonkin Hermit Order".

There is no doubt that, although the number of Dragonkin Wizard is very small.

However, they are all elite individuals who shine brightly in various fields of modern Wizard Civilization.

Some witches who follow crooked paths are already thinking about how to seduce a dragon.

That way, at least I can raise a talented offspring.

However, now that the Wizard Civilization has become powerful...

Dragonkind, especially Dragon Spawn and Pure-blooded Dragon, are now extremely rare.

In a way, Levi can also be considered a descendant of the dragon.

The Dragonkind blood in his body is all genuine Pure-blooded Dragon.

Moreover, because of these bloodlines, he also possessed elemental affinity effects, similar to those of the Dragonborn.

However, other dragon descendants are at most just one bloodline.

Within Levi's body, however... Hundred Flowers.

Return to the Wizard Tower.

Training room.

Levi brought out Tyrant II.

He specifically reinforced the protective magic array.

I intend to test the strength of the Tyrant II.

"Ace!"

As soon as Levi shouted, Ace, who was acting as a gas stove in the kitchen, immediately transformed into a streak of fire and rushed in, followed by Aljeta running after him.

The fluffy white wolf tail swayed back and forth.

"Hey, Master, dinner isn't ready yet." The White Wolf Girl was dressed in a maid-style robe.

They even imitated ordinary people by wearing an apron and holding a spatula in their hands.

Levi doesn't need to eat at all now, but in order to enjoy delicious food, he still maintains the habits he had when he was a mortal.

"Wait a moment." Levi dismissed Aljeta, Ace injected himself into Tyrant II's body.

Raging flames emerged from Tyrant II's body as Ace desperately burned himself out of the fire.

He found that he seemed to be losing control of the Tyrant II.

It's not that Ace has become weaker, but rather that Tyrant II's energy consumption has exceeded Ace's energy output level.

In the end, Ace, having fully unleashed his power, successfully activated Tyrant II.

The Alchemy monster attacked Levi.

Levi was in high spirits. His muscles bulged, his blood and qi surged, and his twelfth-level Red Lotus erupted. Strength Rune flashed, and immense power filled his entire body.

Boom! Levi and Tyrant II began their wrestling match in the training room.

Rumble! The engine inside Tyrant II roared, and flames almost reached the Wizard Tower.

Levi's body was actually moving backward.

"My normal power is no match for Tyrant II; I need to combine other forms to achieve this. Indeed, this power, once it gets close, even Third-Ring Wizard would have to be careful to defend against."

Finally, an exhausted Ace emerged, and the entire Fire Elemental Spirit shrank considerably.

"It's a pity there's no Black Fire Island, otherwise Ace would have charged up much faster."

Currently, Ace can only recharge using the wisp of fire elemental power that roams freely in the world, which is relatively slow.

"We will need to install a hybrid power system in the future so that Ace and Great Stone can start Tyrant II together. Ace alone cannot keep up with the power of Tyrant II unless it advances to the second level of Fire Elemental Spirit."

The power of the Tyrant was tested.

Levi arrived at the laboratory.

Inside a glass-like container.

A monkey shivered inside; its body was covered with downy feathers similar to those of birds.

Previous bloodline transplant experiments on mice had failed.

Levi guessed that the little mouse was probably too weak to accept the powerful Black Flame Demon Bird bloodline.

Therefore, he conducted many more experiments, which eventually led to the results we have today.

His analysis and testing revealed that the monkey already possessed a trace of the Black Flame Demon Bird bloodline.

Within this trace of demonic bird bloodline lies an even thinner, almost nonexistent, Phoenix Bloodline.

This means that this monkey also possesses the Phoenix Bloodline.

Despite the fact that such a diluted Phoenix Bloodline doesn't bring about any significant changes.

But for the Three Brothers who could practice Breathing Technique, this was an entry permit.

"My bloodline transplantation technique is now ready. Next, I'll perform the transplants on the Three Brothers, the lion, the tiger, and the leopard."

Levi began intensive preparations.

He selected some bloodlines that he considered suitable from his existing bloodline bank and transplanted them into the Three Brothers.

For them, who don't have Proficiency Panel, it's enough for each person to transplant one bloodline; trying to transplant too many will only lead to problems.

Ideally, the three people should each have their own strengths so they can work together effectively.

Taijia is very strong, so let's just let him unleash his full power.

After considering various options, Levi ultimately decided to transplant the closest possible bloodline into him.

[Sea Tiger].

This is a symbol of a second-rate, excellent-quality Breathing Technique that Levi previously used as a material to break through the limits of the Power Breathing Technique.

Sea Tiger are tiger-like mammals that live in the ocean. They are enormous, with limbs that have evolved into fins similar to those of mosasaurs, and possess immense strength.

This isn't Levi's strongest Breathing Technique, but it's definitely the most suitable for Taijia, making it virtually impossible for the transplant to fail.

If Taijia could cultivate this Breathing Technique to the level of the Primal Ancestor, then he would at least be comparable to a mid-level wizard.

In short, Levi was determined to start by trying these basic Breathing Technique and then gradually pass on the more powerful Breathing Technique to his subordinates.

This can be considered holding back a skill; if you can't the Church your apprentice, you'll starve.

As for Wada and Xinba.

Since Wada's speed has improved, I will teach him the "Lightning Leopard Breathing Technique".

This is Breathing Technique of third-rate quality, and it was also the raw material that Levi once used to break through limits.

Xinba was rather moderate, so Levi simply let him follow the armor-laying path and practice the Iron Crocodile Breathing Technique.

Although the bloodline difference is quite large, there's nothing that can be done about it; none of these fur-bearing beasts are good at defense when it comes to their Breathing Technique.

Taijia went out to help Levi with some things, and Levi planned to try out Wada from the Black Panther Race first.

The young man from the black Fur Race Wada, looked nervously at Levi.

"Wada, do you crave power?"

"Thirst... longing."

Do you want to experience the meaning of life?

"Master... what do you mean? I don't understand."

"Never mind that. I have a method here that can give you power surpassing other Fur Race, allowing you to embark on the path of cultivation. Do you want to learn it?"

"I want to learn!"

"So decisive? I can tell you clearly that this method carries certain risks, the price of which is your... life."

"Yes, Master, I want to learn."

"Alright, lie down in the center of that machine. Now, prepare for the baptism of life! Your tomorrow is infinitely bright!"

Levi put on his experimental robe.

Wada was the most taciturn and relatively introverted of the Three Brothers, and Levi never expected him to have such courage.

After preparing the bloodline, Levi injected it into the bloodline transplant instrument.

Accompanied by incantations and spells, blood-red runes and miniature magic circles flickered on the instrument.

Wada closed his eyes.

So many years of slavery have taught Wada that as an ordinary Fur Race, he has no future.

To survive, one must do something to the high and mighty wizard.

Female Fur Race can also sell their bodies to get some breathing room.

But for Fur Race like him, no one would want him even as a male prostitute.

Now that he has such an opportunity, he naturally wants to seize it.

After bloodline transplantation.

Wada fell into a temporary coma.

Levi removed his robes, and after taking necessary precautions, he closed the laboratory door.

"Next, let's see if Wada can succeed. If he can, the experiment will continue."

One month later.

Wada successfully survived the month-long rejection period, which means that the bloodline transplant experiment was a success.

Levi extracted a portion of Wada's bloodline and placed it within the Rowling Crystal.

[Black Shadow Leopard bloodline 67%, Purple Thunder Leopard bloodline 27%, Lightning Leopard bloodline 3%...]

Levi carefully analyzed these bloodline components.

The Black Shadow Leopard bloodline is the fundamental bloodline of the Wada Black Panther Race, while the Purple Thunder Leopard bloodline is the bloodline of First Ring extraordinary creature [Purple Thunder Leopard] that Levi infused into it.

Within the Purple Thunder Leopard bloodline lies a trace of the Lightning Leopard bloodline.

This is the Primal Ancestor bloodline of the Lightning Leopard Breathing Technique.

"Judging from this, it should be a success." Levi looked at Wada over there. On the surface, he didn't seem to have changed much from before.

"Wada, how are you feeling right now?" Levi asked.

"Master, I don't seem to feel anything... Wait, no, I feel like my speed is a bit faster." Wada threw a few punches into the air, creating gusts of wind.

"This is because the high-level bloodline I transplanted into you is working. Next, I will teach you a method to strengthen this bloodline through cultivation. It requires the use of appropriate Secret Medicine. You can study and comprehend it yourself. If you don't understand, you can ask me."

Levi said.

"Thank you, Master! I have no way to repay your kindness, Wada, except..."

"Stop! Go and study properly."

Levi sent Wada away.

Then, he injected Xinba with First Ring the extraordinary creature [Iron-Eating Lizard] bloodline, which contained a trace of [Iron-Eating Lizard Iron Crocodile] bloodline.

After the bloodline transplantation experiment is successful.

Levi observed that Xinba's changes were much greater than Wada's, likely due to the significant differences in their species.

Scales began to grow on Xinba's neck.

Regardless, the experiment was a complete success, Xinba, after obtaining the Breathing Technique, went to practice it as well.

"Aljeta, call Taijia over," Levi shouted.

Aljeta walked in. "Master, Taijia went out to buy materials for you yesterday and hasn't returned yet."

Levi's heart skipped a beat. "Where did he go?"

"Rosen's Treasure House, Master, could something have happened to Taijia ... He doesn't usually stay out all night." Aljeta with some worry.

Levi has been busy with bloodline modification experiments these past few days and hasn't paid attention to this matter.

"I'm going out for a bit. You all keep an eye on the house. If anything happens, contact Lord Ha Fuman," Levi said.

He stepped out of his house, put on his robe, and quickly headed towards the materials store.

Rosen's Treasure House is a supplies store run by a Third-Ring Wizard in the Upper City District.

Because the ingredients are relatively complete, Levi is a regular customer here.

However, after Taijia and the others came along, he delegated all the chores of buying things to them.

Taijia may look big and burly, but he is actually very meticulous in his work, and Levi likes this strong man very much.

As Levi stepped into the shop, Alice, the manager of the Treasure Shop, looked at Levi and said, "Lord Levi, it's been a long time."

Alice is not the owner of the Treasure Shop; the real owner is the Third-Ring Wizard Rosen. Alice is just an employee who manages the shop.

"Alice, did any Fur Race come to buy anything from you yesterday?" Levi asked.

"Yes, but I don't have what he wanted to buy here, so I told him to go to another shop," Alice said.

"Where?" Levi had a bad feeling.

"Seven-Day Convenience Store".

Levi went to the Seven-Day Convenience Store, but he didn't find Taijia.

However, he sensed Taiga's presence here.

The Golden Serpent's Tongue stirred restlessly in his mouth as Levi gazed in the direction where Taijia had disappeared.

He arrived at a tall tower, where two Third-Ring Wizard were standing guard.

Levi gazed at the tower, his face grim.

"Torrent City Prison".

He sighed.

After spending some money and showing proof of his status as a senior employee of the Potion Master's Tower, Levi finally saw Taijia on the first floor of the Torrent City Prison.

Taijia was covered in wounds. He was curled up in a corner, his furry tiger tail wrapped around the bleeding wound on his waist, the blood soaking through his fur.

He gently licked his wounds, like a wounded tiger filled with despair and helplessness.

Upon seeing Levi arrive, Taijia raised his head, his face contorted with a ferocious expression, a ferocious expression of grievance.

"Master, I didn't steal anything. How could I dare to steal from the wizard? I don't even have the courage to look the wizard in the eye..." Taijia said in a low voice, his voice trembling with tears.

"What did they say you stole?"

"A piece of Mithril, only the size of a fingernail... I don't know how it ended up in my hand."

"You should rest and recover in prison. I've already spoken to the cell boss. This is a minor offense. If it weren't for your Fur Race identity, you wouldn't be in jail for this kind of crime."

"Yes, Master, I really didn't steal anything." Taijia leaned on the railing, his voice trembling.

"I know, who would steal a piece of Mithril the size of a fingernail..."

A sinister smile crept across Levi's lips as he turned and left.

"A show of force?"

Levi gazed at the mansions in the Upper City District, nestled amidst mountains and water.

"Sigh, here we go again. Can't we all just live our lives honestly?"

He sighed and left the prison.

Not long after.

He arrived at the Tower of Order.

This is a department under Torrent City used to maintain order within the city, and it also serves as the judicial branch.

There is nothing in this world that money can't solve. If there is, it means you don't have enough money and you need to add more.

Levi found the recording tablet at the 7 Days Inn and saw the video recording.

In the video, Taijia had just stepped out of the 7 Days Inn when he was arrested by a team of law enforcement officers who appeared at the door.

He did not resist, but the law enforcement officers beat him up.

Such acts of violent law enforcement are undoubtedly in violation of current laws.

"Seven Days Convenience Store."

The night was deep, quiet and enchanting.

Seven Days Convenience Store.

The rest area at the back.

An old wizard in black robes was lying on the bed, looking with satisfaction at the Storage Bag that the lord had sent over.

He is Miller, the owner of 7 Days Inn and Second-Ring Wizard.

The dazzling white Great Stone inside blinded him.

"So it really is possible for good things to fall from the sky!" Miller's old face beamed with joy.

After finishing his inventory, Miller, who was about to close up shop and go home, looked at the Second-Ring Wizard appearing on the street.

"We're closed." Miller said irritably, his eyes drooping.

"Old Miller, I have a big business deal. I don't know if you're interested." Levi took out a Horned Devil and waved it.

"The Horn of the Horned Devil?" Miller's expression changed.

The next moment, array flags of the Shadowless Traceless Array lit up around the shop.

Levi terrifying hand, flashing with Strength Rune, ripped through Old Miller's defensive force field and grabbed Miller by the neck.

The Mahakala's Curtain bound old Miller and sent him directly into the Green Field Fairy House.

"Gustav, keep an eye on this old man."

Levi gazed at the star-studded night sky and deactivated the magic array.

He did not go home.

Instead, they mingled with the nighttime demon-hunting teams and went outside.

The deep seabed.

Levi released old Miller from the Green Field Fairy House.

Old Miller, still shaken, was filled with immense fear.

The person in front of him had instantly broken through his Protective Force Field, leaving him with no power to resist.

This is Third-Ring Wizard...

"I haven't offended Third-Ring Wizard," Old Miller thought with alarm.

He asked tremblingly, "My lord... what are you going to do? In Torrent City, you can't kill people, especially a Second-Ring Wizard."

"Did I say I was going to kill you?" Levi stretched his limbs, and arcs of electricity flickered at Levi fingertips like dancing musical notes.

Then, a Thunderbird with a wingspan of about one meter appeared.

Boom! The electric current struck old Miller's body, making him feel numb and tingling.

If one is not Body Refinement Wizard, it is difficult to withstand the Thunderbird's attack without the protection of a defensive force field.

However, old Miller had also learned quite a few passive defensive spells, so he wouldn't be electrocuted.

Moreover, Levi had deliberately controlled the power, so he wouldn't electrocute the opponent.

"I heard someone stole a piece of Mithril the size of a fingernail from your shop yesterday?" Levi asked.

Upon hearing this, old Miller's expression changed.

In an instant, he knew he had been used as a pawn.

"I can't tell you the truth because I've signed a confidentiality agreement. If I did, I'd be dead anyway..."

Old Miller smiled bitterly, "It's too late to regret it now."

"Rex?" Levi asked directly.

Old Miller's expression changed, but he remained silent.

Levi already knew the answer.

"Sigh, why did you have to be so greedy for such a small gain? You're so old, wouldn't it be better to enjoy your retirement?"

A snap.

Old Miller was decapitated.

The Holy Armor Scorpion devours souls.

Levi's left eye turned gray, and one could vaguely see the silent world filled with Ashes within it.

After Old Miller died, he turned into scattered Ashes, the last bit of life force still lingering.

Gradually, it gathered into a ball of Ember Fire in Levi's palm.

He squeezed hard.

The Ember Fire dimmed and transformed into a round, bronze coin.

On the coin is a terrifying creature covered in gray feathers, radiating black flames.

It is the Death Ash.

Levi took out a small piggy bank.

Inside the piggy bank, there was already a similar coin, but much smaller, and it looked like a coin made of black iron.

"Sure enough, the stronger the being watched by the Ash Eye, the greater the Ember Fire it generates. The embers generated by a Second Ring expert are far more than the Ember Fire I generated by killing First Ring sea beast."

The ability to turn Ember Fire into coins was something Levi discovered by chance.

He estimated that with this coin, one should be able to communicate with the beings of the Ash World and summon them to fight for him.

So far, Levi has discovered that there are two types of coins.

The life force of First Ring creature can eventually coalesce into an iron Ash Coin.

The existence of Second Ring like this can be condensed into a copper Ash Coin.

"Interesting."

Levi flicked his finger, and the coin went into the piggy bank.

"Sigh, simply tolerating this isn't a solution. At least now we're certain that Rex is the mastermind. My previous suspicions weren't wrong."

Levi took the items out of Old Miller's Storage Bag, and after confirming that there were no tracking marks on them, he put them away.

He returned to Torrent City overnight.

He dared not stay outside the city for too long; if Rex found out, he would definitely try to get rid of him.

Seven days later.

The Tower of Order discovered Old Miller's disappearance.

The video footage was retrieved, and it was discovered that after a wizard shrouded in a black robe appeared, the image mysteriously disappeared, seemingly due to some kind of shielding formation.

After that, old Miller never appeared again.

A Second-Ring Wizard is someone that Law Enforcement Department should investigate.

Upper City District.

Rex was looking at the news from Torrent City over the past few days.

"Old Miller is missing? Agan, what happened?" Rex asked.

"My lord, the authorities are still investigating. The murderer is very discreet, and they have now focused their investigation on wizards of the Third Ring and above in Torrent City. Even a senior Second Ring wizard wouldn't be able to easily take Old Miller away from Torrent City," Agan said.

Rex looked gloomy.

He felt he knew who the murderer was, but he had no proof.

There was a man who, despite not being Third-Ring Wizard, twice escaped assassination attempts by the killers he sent, one of whom was a genuine Third-Ring Wizard.

This person is Levi.

"Interesting. I'll play along." Rex licked his lips.

He will let his opponents know that going against the Thunder Dragon Family is an extremely irrational and absurd thing.

In the blink of an eye.

A month has passed.

Before the authorities could even find out who was behind Miller's death.

Within just one month.

In the Lower City District of Torrent City, hundreds of civilians and wizards have gone missing!

This has drawn serious attention from the authorities in Torrent City.

Wizard Tower.

Levi also had a solemn expression.

"Hundreds of cases in a month, involving both civilians and wizards... Who did it?"

He muttered to himself.

"Damn it, even this Torrent City doesn't feel safe anymore. Is there any safe place in this world?"

Levi sighed helplessly and hurriedly worked himself to the bone.

The year 1050 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the Month of Flowing Fire.

A major event has occurred in the Starry Sea Area.

The Hundred Beast Mad Wizard, his junior sister, another high-level Primal Soul Wizard from the School of Life, a senior operator at Rowling's Cottage, and the "Red Mushroom Witch" engaged in a battle of top-tier powerhouses in the Endless Sea.

The reason for the battle was that the Hundred Beast Mad Wizard wanted to seize a treasure from the Red Mushroom Witch.

The key experiment in Rowling's Hut, that strange "Christmas tree" that escaped the Life Realm and came to the Endless Sea.

However, what grows on this Christmas tree are all sorts of strangely shaped fruits.

Ultimately, in order to prevent the victorious Hundred Beast Mad Wizard from obtaining the fruit from the Christmas tree...

The Red Mushroom Witch used magic to randomly teleport all the fruits to various locations in the vast, Endless Sea.

Then, the Hundred Beast Mad Wizard issued a bounty to all the Black Wizard in the Endless Sea.

"Anyone who finds the Miracle Fruit can come to the Boiling Beast Blood to claim a huge reward."

And everyone finally learned what the unfinished experiment that escaped from Rowling's Cottage to the Endless Sea was.

"The Kabbalah Miracle Tree!"

Legend has it that this "Miracle Tree" was created by the witch Rowling using the roots of the Pandora Mother Tree and the bloodlines of hundreds of powerful creatures, with the knowledge and technology representing the highest level of research in the School of Life!

What is a miracle?

Even an ordinary person can gain extraordinary power in a short period of time by consuming the "Miracle Fruit" from the Kabbalah Miracle Tree!

Each Miracle Fruit represents a miraculous ability through a specific pathway.

This miraculous ability can be developed and nurtured, possessing great potential.

When Levi heard the news in the Wizard Tower, his heart skipped a beat.

So, after all this time, that experimental subject still hasn't been brought back to the Life Realm.

Isn't this just adding to the chaos of our Endless Sea?

"What Miracle Fruit? It's clearly a bloodline fruit. It's just that Lady Rowling has mastered a method to cultivate bloodlines into usable fruits."

"I have to say, no wonder he's the leader of the School of Life. I wonder how he managed to research such a heaven-defying thing," Levi thought enviously.

However, he had no interest in the Miracle Fruit, because he already had a clear path for advancing his bloodline.

Even if a Miracle Fruit appeared in front of him right now, he wouldn't take it!

A few days later.

Levi had heard that it was in the Lower City District of Torrent City.

There was an ordinary young man who received a Miracle Fruit that fell from the sky.

He didn't know what it was, but after smelling it, he found it stinky and fishy, and then he fed it to his... dog.

After consuming the Miracle Fruit, the dog actually began to speak human language and instantly gained the combat power of Second-Ring Wizard. It evaded the pursuit of a group of wizards from the Outer City District and escaped into the Endless Sea.

For many wizards with average talent and weak strength, this Miracle Fruit is their chance to defy fate, and they are naturally extremely envious.

Even some Second Ring wizards, and even mid-level wizards, in the Midtown District and Upper City District were quite interested in this Miracle Fruit.

In an instant, the massive army of dog chasers surged into the Endless Sea.

This chaotic situation was only brought under control after official intervention.

Meanwhile, in Torrent City, people have been disappearing every day over the years.

These people were quite random; they could be ordinary people, Second-Ring Wizard, or even Third-Ring Wizard from the Upper City District, all of whom fell victim to the poison.

In an instant, panic gripped the Torrent City.

Levi stayed home all day, afraid to go out, and frantically grinded for experience points.

Until this day.

A violent explosion suddenly occurred in the Upper City District.

Thunder shattered the night sky, and the crackling of electricity echoed throughout the entire Torrent City.

Levi looked out the window toward the Inner City where the sound was coming from.

A wizard, bathed in Thunder, stood in the void.

His domineering and powerful mental energy swept across the entire city, and he held a phantom Thunder spear in his hand.

High above, dark clouds gathered, and lightning bolts leaped and darted through them.

Looking at this terrifying power, Levi was deeply shocked.

He had seen this man in a recording of his election speech; this man was Thunder Spear Solete.

A Fifth Ring powerhouse.

"A demon has infiltrated Torrent City! Commanders of the Fourth Ring and above within the city, come immediately to encircle and annihilate it!" Spear of Thunder's voice was as thunderous as Thunder.

A series of powerful figures surrounded the Upper City District.

"For a Fifth Ring powerhouse to be so cautious, it must be at least a level five demon, or even possibly a level six..."

Levi was puzzled.

The Abyssal Well has been destroyed.

Logically speaking, without the support of the Hundred Eye Demon Lord, these Abyss demons should have been wiped out by those powerful figures long ago.

"Could it be..."

Levi felt somewhat worried.

That night.

Levi dared not focus on his cultivation; he was always ready to flee.

If this Torrent City is also breached, then there will be no point in him serving.

The grand formation in the Torrent City lit up, and above the sky, the light screen of the formation swirled, with terrifying streams of destructive light flying towards the Upper City District.

Before long, a beautiful witch created a huge barrier of ice, trapping the demon inside.

With the combined power of the great formation, the demon was annihilated.

Many wizards in the Upper City District were implicated in this battle.

Levi felt fortunate that he lived in the Midtown District.

Three days later.

The official announcement has been released.

A level 5 [Formless Demon] possessed a wizard in the Outer City District and caused so many horrific cases recently.

This Formless Demon comes from the Hundred Eye Demon Domain.

Blue Dragon Lady personally went to the center of the Hundred Eye Demon Domain to investigate and discovered the following.

In a region tens of thousands of miles away from the core of the Legendary Realm forbidden technique, at the bottom of the Bottomless Sea Abyss, there is a small Abyssal Well that has already been opened up...

"The Abyss uses large Abyssal Well as bait to attract the firepower of the Legendary Realm forbidden techniques, and converts the energy released by the Legendary Realm forbidden techniques into the power to open up smaller Abyssal Well."

This is the final investigation result of Tower of Stars.

The Abyssal Well was not completely destroyed.

In the deep sea, thousands of miles away from the ancient ruins, a new well has been formed.

During this time, countless demons have escaped, and some masters of stealth and concealment have hidden among us.

Yes, the devil is all around us...

"The good news is that small Abyssal Well are difficult for demon lords to pass through. The demons that have infiltrated the Wizard World are likely to be mostly demons below level five."

But without a doubt, this completely panicked the wizards in Torrent City.

They thought that once they had wiped out the remaining remnants of the demons, they could end their military service.

However, it seems that they will not be able to leave Torrent City in the short term.

Levi had been observing the situation in the outside world.

He accumulated more and more merit points, which he used to exchange for cultivation resources and spells, focusing all his efforts on improving his strength.

If Torrent City is gone, all the merit points he's accumulated will be meaningless.

Chaos is a time of crisis.

Crisis breeds opportunity.

"Why didn't the Formless Demon kill that old bastard Rex? Truly, a scourge lives on for a thousand years."

Levi looked at the final statistics with indignation.

The aftermath of that battle in the Fifth Ring killed Rex's neighbor.

Rex, that bastard, was completely unharmed.

During this period of time.

Ha Fuman told Levi, Grimm, Toman to stay home and Potion Making as much as possible.

He had a premonition that an even greater storm might befall Torrent City.

Miracle Fruit, Abyss Demon, and the open and covert struggles between Blue Dragon Lady and Spear of Thunder.

These factors have further complicated the situation in Torrent City.

The year 1050 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the Month of the North Wind.

After taking the Meditation Potion, Levi entered a meditative state.

When he opened his eyes again, a sharp glint flashed in them.

He exhaled and looked at the Klein Crystal Ball.

[Mental Strength: 70]

[Art Power: 2023]

"I'm a veteran of the Second Ring."

"I, Old Man Li, have made something of myself!"

Levi was filled with emotion.

After advancing to the Second Ring senior level, he felt that he could use Second-Ring Spell more smoothly than before.

I tried it out, and the casting rhythm and speed were also a bit faster.

Beyond the Second Ring, the difference between experienced and ordinary employees is quite significant.

Levi ————

Aether Meditation Technique: Seventh Rank (1/50000), Special Effect: Aether Dominator.

Earth Spirit Shield: Seventh Rank (Ultimate)

Adamantine Rock Body: Seventh Rank (Limit) Five Fireball Technique: Seventh Rank (Limit) Song of Spider and Scorpion: Seventh Rank (Limit), Special Effect: Spider-Scorpion Heart.

Thunderbird: Sixth Order (23/40000)

Red Bronze Armor: Sixth Order (3456/40000)

"Aside from the Thunderbird and Red Bronze Armor, which I learned relatively late, I've reached the limit with all my other spells."

"With my current mental strength, mastering six Second-Ring Spell should be about right."

Levi learned three defensive spells alone.

With things so chaotic right now, I might even get attacked while walking on the streets of Torrent City, so I'd better wear more armor.

As he cast his spell, rings of metallic light swirled around him.

Finally, it transformed into a suit of armor resembling Knight's heavy armor, protecting Levi.

The bronze-colored armor gleamed with a heavy luster, showcasing its powerful defensive capabilities.

"I learn the Bronze School spells much faster than the Thunder School. Once my mental strength advances further, I'll learn Blade Storm. That way, I can barely master the art of sword control."

Blade Storm is Second Ring attack Spell-like Abilities of the Bronze School that gathers metal elements to form terrifying blades.

Then, relying on his powerful mental strength, he launched these swords out, tearing the enemy to pieces.

Similar to the Wizarding version of "Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin".

The investigation into old Miller's death also came out, and it was ultimately confirmed that it was the work of the Formless Demon.

Levi silently mourned for the Formless Demon.

"I'm sorry, Brother Demon."

Although I've advanced to the Second Ring and become a senior player.

Levi, however, did not slack off in the slightest.

His strength is far from enough!

Torrent City is no longer as safe as it used to be.

Especially with Rex watching closely.

He slowed down his earning pace of merit points slightly; no matter how many he earned, Levi wouldn't have time to process them all.

Levi has now basically achieved the freedom to spend his merit points, as long as he doesn't squander them.

Moreover, he still had over 100,000 Great Stone in his Storage Bag.

Nowadays, the path of wizardry is reduced to the long-term goal of reaching the Third Ring.

Levi focused his attention on Knight.

Because of the difference in the quality of the Secret Medicine, the Breathing Technique with the best chance of breaking through to the thirteenth level is not Red Lotus, but Blood Beast.

Levi then pressed on with his work, continuing to work himself to the bone.

The end of the Month of the Freezing Winter.

Taijia has been released from prison.

Thanks to Levi's connections and Ha Fuman's influence, he wasn't mistreated much in prison.

Levi knew that Taijia's imprisonment was a warning from Rex to him.

Rex wanted Levi to know that in this Torrent City, he could easily send someone to prison.

In the midst of his busy schedule, Levi transplanted the Sea Tiger bloodline into Taijia.

From then on, all four of his Fur Race embarked on the path of Knight under his guidance.

Among them, Aljeta has made the fastest progress and is now High-Rank Knight, having elevated a Breathing Technique that was otherwise impossible to cultivate to this level.

The Silver Frost Wolf bloodline within her was so concentrated that Levi estimated it was enough for her to cultivate to at least the Great Knight realm.

After that, you'll probably need Blood Limit Potion.

However, Levi has no time to research this potion right now.

The year 1051 of the Holy Radiance Calendar, the Month of Origin.

With the conclusion of the election.

To Levi's surprise, the one elected Commander-in-Chief was not the one who had been highly anticipated, Spear of Thunder.

Instead, it Blue Dragon Lady.

Levi felt a strange sense of relief.

Meanwhile, they were working day and night, burning the midnight oil.

Levi has finally mastered the Blood Beast Breathing Technique to level thirteen.
